Stucco repair in Bakersfield
Bakersfield learned in 1952 that a building can ride out one quake and fail in the next. The big Kern County earthquake that July was centered about 23 miles south of town. Then on August 22, an aftershock struck about 6 miles east-southeast of the city.
Caltech's seismology center says that aftershock did outsized damage for three reasons. It was the closest sizable one to Bakersfield. It came after at least 18 others of magnitude 5 or more had weakened buildings for a month. And it shook at a high frequency, the kind that targets short, rigid buildings. Most of the damage was to brick structures across 64 blocks of downtown.
Most houses here are far younger. Half the homes in the metro were built in 1986 or later, Census estimates show, and nearly three in ten in 2000 or after. The lesson still holds for stucco, though. A wall that rides out one round of shaking can come out of it weaker, and the next quake finds what the last one started.
